After his Olympic victory in Paris, Serbian Novak Djokovic is the second tennis player to win all the major men’s singles titles at least once. Triumphing at all four Grand Slams, the ATP Finals and the Olympics and also being number one in the world rankings – before Djokovic, only the American Andre Agassi had achieved this.
Djokovic’s long-time rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are each one title away. Federer never won the Olympic gold medal, losing to Andy Murray in the 2012 London final. Nadal never won a season finale in eleven attempts, losing twice in the final. – The records of Djokovic, Nadal, Federer and Agassi in comparison:
